The Iowa Board of Pharmacy is very pleased to announce that effective today, April 4, 2018, it has successfully transitioned from its legacy O-tech Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) to Appriss Health's newest and most advanced PMP platform, AWARxE. Coupled with this advancement, the Board has also made available to all of its users the advanced analytical tool, NarxCare.

Our Board is comprised of five pharmacist members and two public members. The Board is responsible for regulating the practice of pharmacy and the legal distribution and dispensing of prescription drugs and precursor substances throughout Iowa. The responsibilities include, but are not limited to, licensing, renewal, and discipline of pharmacists, pharmacies, drug wholesalers, pharmacist-interns, pharmacy technicians, and persons or businesses involved in the distribution of controlled substances in Iowa, and continuing education for pharmacists.
